These savings result in large dividends and consequent low cost of insur ance. The amount of dividends paid last year fcy the Northwestern Mutual aggregated $7,366,425, and was greater than was ever paid by any Company, regardless of size, prior to that time. “GET RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET WRITTEN*’ .

Now. u word which applies to you merely,me n applies lo all college men. to all men in this country who have received the ...•units of a college education; and .hat I have to aay on thla topic can properly be aald under the auspices of ...m- Political Club. You here when ...ii graduate will take up many dif ferent Kinds of work: but there la one ...rl. In which all of you should take pan simply aa good American dtl- .... ns. and that Is the work of self-gov- <■! imient. Remember, In the first place, that to take part In the work of govern- ... ni does not In the least mean of ne- ssltd- to hold office. It means to take ... Intelligent, disinterested and prac- »l part In the everyday duties of the ...r-rage cltfseb, of the Pltlaen who Is : H faddist or a doctrinaire, but who , >,. ,-,rs corruption and dislikes tnef- i. ncy; who rrfehermwe* decent gov- . nment prevail at homo, with gen- .ne equality of opportunity for all .. so fur aa It can be brought about; soil who wishes, aa far as foreign mat- ms ore concerned, to see this nation ..eat all other nations, great and small, >. ith respect, and If need be Willi gen- . i "sit v, and at the name time show h i self able to protect herself by her ..w n might from any wrong at the hands of any outside power. Should Do Hit Part. Koch man here should feel that he 1.. . no excuse, as a cltlaen In a detn- ..< ratio republic like oure, If he falls 1.. do his part In the government. It I- not only his right so to do. but ins duty: his duty both to the nation ..nil to himself. Each should feel that. lie falls In this, he Is not only fall- i c In his duty but is showing himself ... a contemptible light. A man may 1.-gleet his political duties because he mo lasy, too selfish, too shnrtslghi- ■ ,l or too timid; but whatever the ..s..n may be It Is certainly an un- .■.iithy reason, and It shows either a eakness or worse.than a weakness In ' i - i.nm’s character. Above all. you college men. remcm- I.*. that If your education, the pleas- .m lives you lead, make you too fas- lidioue. too sensitive to take part In "if lough hurlyburly of the actual .nk of the world. If you become — cal polltlrs, then you had better never —|4ui.vc been educated at all. The weak^. ling and the coward are out of place In a strong and free community. “In a republic like ours the govern ing class Is composed of the strong men who take the trouble to do the work of government; and If you are' ton timid or loo fastlduous or loo careless to do your part In this work, then you forfeit your right to be con sidered one of the governing and you become one of the governed Instead— ono of the driven cattle of the politi cal arena. 1 want you to feel that It Is not merely your right to take part In politics, not merely your duty to the state, but that It Is demanded by your own self-respect, unless you are content to acknowledge that you are unlit to govern yourself and have to submit tv the rule of somebody else as a master—and this Is what It means If you do not du your owe part In gov ernment. Try to Better Times. “The educated man who seeks console himself for his own lack of tho robust qualities necessary lo bring sue cess In American politics by moaning over the degeneracy of the times In stead of trying to better tbem. by rati Ing at the men who do the actual work of political life Instead of trying him self to do the work. Is a poor creature, and. so far as Ills feeble powers avail. Is a damage and not a help to the country. You may come- far short of this disagreeable standard and still be a rather useless member of society. “In papular government results worth having can only be achieved by men who combine worthy Ideals with prsc- Ural good sense: who are resolute to accomplish good purposes, but who can accommodate themselves lo the give anil take necessary where work has to be done, as almost all Important work must necessarily be done, by combination. Moreover, remember that normally the prime object of political life should be to achieve results and not merely to Issue manifestoes—save of course "where the Issuance of such manifestoes helps to achieve the re sults. Control of Corporations. “So It Is with the great questions which group thetnsclven round the con trol of corporations In the Interest of the public.

DUMng that period we hsve deatt mnd are dealing with many different matters of great moment. We have acquired the right to build, and are now build ing, the Panama canal. We have given wise government to the Philippines. Ws have dealt with exceedingly complex, difficult and Important questions In Cuba and Santo Domingo. We have built up the navy; our surest safe guard of peace atpl of national honor. “We are making great progress In dealing with the questions of Irriga tion and forestry, of preserving to the public the rightful use of the public lands and of the mineral wealth untler- lyljtf them; and with that group of vital questions which consent the prop, sr supervision of the Immense corpora tions doing an Interstate business, the proper control of the great highway# of Interstate commerce, the proper reg ulation.of Industries which.

We have wrought mightily for the peace- of righteousness, .both among the natlope and In social and Industrial life here at home. Much has beeq done, and we are girding up our loins to do more. "In all these matters there have been some men In public life and some men In private life whose action has been at every, point one of barren criticism nr fruitless obstruction. Thsse men have had no part or lot. In the groat record of achievement and success: the record of good work worthily done, (tome of these men have been college graduates: but oil of them have been poor servants of tho people, useless where they were not harmful.

W. Masters, Cap tured Burglar, Says He Is Insane. “I'm a regular Carrie Nation. I'm a glass smasher." smilingly declared 8, W. Masters, a Well dressed young man wboss horns Is In Clsyton county, and who Is believed'to be Insane. Masters > burglarised three different stores In Whitehall street shortly after midnight Saturday morning. He.was captured by Police Sergeant Lamar Poole Freely and bosstlngly admitting that b* had broken Into the trio of placbs, young Masters later exclaimed to Her gsantx Poole and Msnlcr: ‘•You will hear from me again. I'm not done yet. My next move will be to come downtown and break Into and rob *ime of thess national banks. I want to make a haul of'about 10,000 and then I think I'll be satldfled for awhile. iVant money and. I am going to have It at any coat." The places broken Into by Masters were the Jewelry- etpre of J. O. fltrach am, 21# Whitehall street; the meat market and grocery store of E. A. Shield*. 242 Whitehall,street, and the fruit store of James Bolukos, a Greek. .’75 Whitehall street. Fired at Burglar. Bolqkoa, who rleeps In the rear of Ills place, was awakened by the crash ing of glass and discovered Master* aa he was making hia exit. The Greek seised a revolver and aa the burglar ran down the street tired alx ahota at him, one of the bullets grating hla right ear. 8ergeant Poole, who was a short distance away and was also at tracted by the nolee of the glass, hur tled lo the scene on his bicycle and narrowly escaped being shot. The bur glar was running toward him. and several of the bullets whined by In i l»«e proximity 1« the officer. He rods straight 'ahead, however, and took Masters Into custody. The assertion made by Masters that he Is “a regular Carrie Nation" was decidedly appropriate, as he left * scene of wreckage In each place he vlalled. smashing window* and show cases Into smithereens with a heavy piece of tiling. A handsome Dutch clerk, taken from the Jewelry store, and 12.50, taken aa booty In the Greek fruit etore, were found on the young man at the time of his arrest. Masters Declared Insane. Masters woe arraigned before Re corder Broyles Batuiday morning and was bound over to the stmt* courts under bond of 11,000 on the charge of burglary. In default of bond, lie went to tlu> Tower. Friends of Maattrs. who have known him and hla family for years, testified sane, and has been In that condition for some time. Turning trrtbe prleoner, the recorder asked: — MaeteiV, are you craxy 7" "Ye* sic." came the prompt reply. "Well, Hist Is a good sign you are nol crasy.” responded the recorder. The prisoner admitted he had com mitted the butglarle* and said to the recorder. "I burglarised ihe*e places because I Wanted money and I'n, going to bava II. too." Ma*t*ta also tried to claim credit for another recent burglary, but the police and Judge Broyles refused to believe him. He confessed that lie w-a* the burglur who entered the home of lln. E. A.
